GOD WANTS TO BE YOUR DAD. Seriously. Its that simple. He wants to give you eternal life as one of His beloved children. And the only thing that you have to do to forever become a child of God is follow Jesus.

"This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one (Jesus) He has sent." John 6:29

But this world is hard and there are many things that can keep us from understanding what God wants. We often forget that we live in a fallen world, stuck in the middle of a spiritual battle for our souls. A fight between life and death. And we tend to become focused on everything in this reality except this frightening battle. But earthly distractions just rob us of the undeniable truth: God loves all of us with all of His heart and only Jesus can bring us home.

In fact, if you really think about it, the Bible makes so much more sense if we look at things from the viewpoint that God wants to be our eternal Father. How would He do this? A good Father would rescue His children from this dark world by forgiving them and providing the payment for their mistakes/sins. A good Father would love, heal, teach, protect, provide, guide, set limits, and sometimes discipline His children. And a good Father would want His children to cherish each other as brothers and sisters. The only thing that we have to do is believe in His plan, right?

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16

Jesus is the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the lover of our souls, the mighty One, and the powerful One. He alone is worthy. He is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. And...Jesus wants to be your friend and help you.

Isn't it time that you chose life? Then just say this prayer aloud:

“Jesus, I believe You came in the flesh and died on the cross to pay for my sins...past, present, and future. I believe You rose from the dead to demonstrate God's Power and I believe You are alive today. And because of Your sacrifice, I can blamelessly be in my Fathers presence. Please give me life. In Jesus name, Amen.”

You are now a child of God, forever. Learn about Him and His love:
  • Romans 8:15 I have given you the Spirit of adoption so you can call Me Father.
  • 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 My love is patient and kind, and does not keep track of wrongs.
  • Psalm 34:8 Taste and you will see that I am a good God.
  • Hebrew 4:16 Come boldly to My throne when you need to find mercy and grace.
  • John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
  • Isaiah 41:13 For I hold you by your right hand--I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, “Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you."
  • Exodus 14:14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.
  • Deuteronomy 8:18 You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth.
  • Isaiah 30:18 I wait for opportunities to show you My compassion.

You have been given something special. Jesus is on your side. Just speak to Him. He will show you the right way through the Holy Spirit that now lives inside you. You don't need to perform any rituals or make any sacrifices. Jesus already did that by paying for your sins out of His love for you. You just simply need to listen. Let Him guide your heart. Follow and learn from Him. Enjoy His presence in your life. And most importantly, praise Him!

"'You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.' AND, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Luke 10:27

Find a Bible believing church that teaches the love of the Father. Look for the fruit of brotherly love in that church. And spread the word. Find as many brothers and sisters as you can. Just remember...Dad's love, salvation, and the Holy Spirit are a gift. You cannot do anything to earn it; you can only receive it. And this gift is available to anyone and everyone. There are no qualifications. In fact, Jesus loved the people that the world hated. Receive His Love into your heart, and watch Heaven invade your life.

God Bless you.

1 John 4:19 We love because He first Loved us.
